About the show

Avoid costly mistakes, make better buying decisions and get more from life on the road with Motorhome Matt. Hosted by Matt Sims and journalist Keith Gooden, Motorhome Matt is for motorhome, campervan and caravan owners who want straight answers, practical advice and a clearer view of what is happening across the leisure vehicle industry. We cover the things owners really need to know, from buying and selling to ownership costs, technical problems, accessories, travel, regulation, product developments and industry news. Matt brings years of experience across the motorhome sector and an insider’s understanding of how the industry works. Keith asks the questions, challenges the jargon and helps get to the answers that matter. Expect honest conversations with manufacturers, dealers, specialists and owners, plus real listener questions answered in Ask Matt. We ask the questions owners are already asking... and some the industry would probably rather we didn’t. Whether you are new to motorhoming or have years of experience, we help you understand what matters, what is changing and what you need to know next. ❓ Ask Matt Submit a question for the podcast mhmp.info/askmatt ✅ Motorhome Matt Approved Explore businesses, products and services Matt knows and recommends mhmp.info/approved 🗓️ Meet Motorhome Matt See upcoming events mhmp.info/events Brought to you by That Leisure Shop Motorhome Matt is brought to you by That Leisure Shop, specialists in motorhome, campervan, caravan and camping accessories.
